How We Can Help
At Brown & Brown, we understand the varied nature of UK manufacturing – from precision engineering to large-scale production lines. Our approach starts with learning how your facility operates, the machinery in use, materials handled, and the complexity of your supply chain.
We arrange tailored insurance solutions through trusted manufacturing insurers, combining key covers such as employer’s and public liability, property and contents, and product liability. We also help secure more specialist sections – like machinery breakdown, engineering inspection, business interruption, environmental liability and product recall. If your operation depends on global imports or exports, we’ll also explore marine cargo and goods in transit cover.
Business interruption is often the biggest exposure for manufacturing businesses. Losing access to production systems, even for a short period, can immediately impact revenue, making this a critical cover to protect cash flow and support recovery. For businesses with automated or digitised production, cyber liability and data loss protection are also increasingly important, but business interruption remains the primary risk for manufacturers of all types.
We don’t stop once the policy is in place. We offer ongoing support with claims, site assessments, insurer renewals and adapting policies as your plant grows or diversifies. We can coordinate engineering inspections required by law for pressure systems and lifting equipment, helping you stay compliant and insured.
Whether you operate a single-site factory or a multi-location business, Brown & Brown will work with you to build an insurance solution that reduces disruption, supports recovery and aligns with your production goals.

Your Questions, Answered
A standard manufacturing insurance package may include public and employer’s liability, machinery breakdown, property damage, business interruption and product liability. We can also arrange cover for stock, goods in transit, cyber threats and recall events. Brown & Brown helps build insurance around your specific setup and exposures.
Yes. If a product causes injury or damage after sale, the manufacturer can be held responsible. Product liability insurance helps cover legal costs and compensation if claims arise. It’s vital for all manufacturers, particularly those supplying to retailers, construction or automotive markets.
Absolutely. Machinery breakdown insurance helps protect against the sudden failure of key equipment. This can include repair or replacement costs and, optionally, the income lost due to downtime. Brown & Brown ensures this type of cover aligns with your equipment types and reliance levels.
Yes, especially if you rely on automation, CAD software, or hold sensitive supply chain or customer data. Cyber insurance helps protect against data breaches, ransomware attacks and operational disruption. We help manufacturers evaluate cyber exposure and source relevant cover to reduce business risk.
